I tried all of them that Premiere pro comes with. Still not anything like that of camptasia.

No it looks fine, even when i click on motion. The footage still fits fine. Although I noticed now even when export it which square pixel aspect ratio, its still slightly distorted.

So i exported it a DV1/DV NTSC (0.9091) aspect ratio and now the footage looks fine. However…. now you see black bars running along the top and bottom of the footage, like the height isnt tall enough to fit this ratio. What the heck! I should go back to web design!

Ok thanks. Although my footage resolution is 960 by 720. However for now, i just did standard 720 by 480 at square pixels. It seems still slightly squished, but much better than the other ones. My question though is why would it show properly in premiere and not on regular playback from a computer media player?

Ok Thanks guys. AE has a tricky concept. Also for other beginners out there, i found that you can click and drag the timeline playhead while also holding done the cntrl button. This also lets you hear sound from the video… buts very chompy, just like watching the video as well.

When i render i use the qicktime photo-jpg codec. You adjust the resolution and the aspect ratio accordingly to your needs. In premiere pro, just go to file > export > movie and then choose quicktime and you will find those settings under that.

OK never mind. I will just custom add the settings in. For example, they have only a default res of 720 by 480. I can just change that to fit what i need. I think its strange though that they dont have a setting that just matches the source settings…

Thanks. I appreciate the help. That is a good shortcut to determining the project comp settings.

Ok great that helps. So then the proper way is to edit the footage in premiere pro first and get it cut just the way I want it, then export it to after effects. And then bring it back to premiere pro for sound and final video rendering (exporting).

Thanks so much!
